Probably old news but I saw it this morning. August 11 and 12 at the Plaza Hotel.

Atariage definitely stole the last show. I can't wait! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hopefully I'll finally be making a CGE, provided I am working by then.

I am definitely going to attend. I'm thinking about getting a table.

I wonder what surprises Atari Age will have in store for us? And will there be another Retro Gaming Rumble?

I'm bringing lots of money for new homebrew games. And since this is Vegas, gambling money, and cash for coke(-a-cola) and hookers.

One major question, will AtariAge be there? I saw a comment somewhere that Al doesn't do shows like that any more... and that would be a shame. Anyone know for sure either way?

If you're going, I've set up a Lanyrd page at http://lanyrd.com/20...ic-gaming-expo/ to track attendees and speakers.

Will there be PRGE this year? If I can't make it to CGE this year I'll certainly consider visiting you guys over in Portland instead!

They're back at the Plaza hotel? I haven't gone to CGE since 2000/2001! Plus downtown Vegas is pretty cool - the Fremont Street Experience is fun to watch and I loved the Garden Court Buffet next door at Main Street Station. Where else could you have enchiladas, egg rolls, and French toast all in the same meal?

I, too, would consider attending the Portland event, as I dream of the 90's.

I see there have been a few updates on the CGExpo site recently. Some exhibitors and celebrities have been added.

I am so bummed. :(

I had plans on going to this (never been to one), but I was informed at work today there are blackouts in taking time off for the entire month of August because of a new system being put in August 1st.

I *really* wanted to go to this one, in fact I already bought weekend passes. :( Had plans on releasing a new 7800 game there. :x

I hope there will be one next year :ponder:

It's very possible that I might have to work the weekend... It depends how the systems are running once they are installed. I can't take the chance. :(

OK - Had a talk with my new boss today, and he told me not to cancel any plans because it's only for a few days... So I just spent a few hours on the phone with PriceLine and Southwest and I got (most) of the fare for my tickets back (I didn't know they keep track of cancellations - something like a cancellation credit).

So, I'm finally going to a Vegas expo. :D

It's in Vegas = I'm not going. Again. It was so nice when it was in the bay area. If I'm going to travel in order to go to a video game expo, it's going to be to go back to PRGE.

I've always wanted to go, but that just is way to far to drive and my health / mobility have become a major factor. Perhaps in years to come. Yall will have to have a good time for me.

It's looking doubtful that I'll be able to go this year due to some previous commitments. Maybe next year. :(

I would love to see you make it up and PRGE is not a bad second choice! It will be at the convention center this year with way more room, better HVAC and an arcade area bigger than the whole show last year.
